More quotes by Marion Zimmer Bradley

Marion Zimmer Bradley

But your fear is yours, and yours alone, like your voice, or your fingers, or your memory, and therefore yours to control. If you feel powerless over your fear, you have not yet admitted that it is yours, to do with as you will.

Marion Zimmer Bradley
Knowledge was like a mouthful of dust.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
I am dedicated to the belief that it is God's will that all men should strive for wisdom in themselves, not look to it from some other. Babes, perhaps, must have their food chewed for them by a nurse, but men may drink and eat of wisdom for themselves.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
I have called on the Goddess and found her within myself
Marion Zimmer Bradley
